Rosebud

A busy day today with many student tutorials to give, so not much time to find a blip. There are very few roses or any flowers, left in the garden and I wanted a pink one today for the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. However, the garden did not oblige so instead you have a red rosebud; anyway, red is just a deeper shade of pink.

Although it is breast cancer awareness month, there are many others who need to be remembered too. Today, I am thinking especially of V and her daughter C, as well as little M, who had a rare genetic stomach cancer. I am also thinking of two other special ladies as well as anyone, blipper or not, where cancer has touched their lives. Thirty-six years ago today, my Mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour, sadly not much could be done back then and she died six weeks later.
